Arsenic Rule
Maximum Contaminant Level Violation Health-based4 violations, Jul 2023 to Oct 2025
Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, health-based: 4 violations, Jul 2023 to Oct 2025. A sample exceeded the maximum contaminant level EPA allows in drinking water.
What the rule requires: Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid found in bedrock and soil. It dissolves into groundwater from natural deposits and can also come from mining, smelting and past pesticide use. EPA lowered the MCL from 50 ppb to 10 ppb in 2001.
Health effects: Long-term arsenic exposure increases risk of bladder, lung, and skin cancers. It is also associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and developmental effects in children. Arsenic is classified as a Group A human carcinogen by the EPA. Limit: 0.010 mg/L (10 ppb), set in 2001 and enforceable since 2006; the previous MCL was 0.050 mg/L (50 ppb)

About this data
Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.
ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.
Measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Service area from EPA's Public Water System Service Area Boundaries dataset: State Agency. The system's location is the centre of the service area EPA publishes for the system.
Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Texas records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
